Curiosity.ai rebuilt its entire website and design assets by using AI to restyle and redraw the site in multiple branded visual directions, then pick a winner via a live comparison game. The original rebuild covered all 67 pages, with the winning design rolled out on September 28 and additional style rounds used through September 29. The process replaced the prior brand with a monochrome scheme using one electric blue and generated design rules, and it removed the non-winning variants and their tooling.

Why Instinct Feels Magical

X (formerly Twitter) 3 weeks ago 4

Instinct’s harness is described as being reverse-engineered from a single-threaded chat experience that connects a main chat agent to task execution tools, including sandboxed computer use and background automation. The piece says the per-user sandbox/VM cost is about $0.13 per hour. It argues these design choices change the user experience toward faster, less interruptive task completion and persistent context, while raising the question of how Instinct monetizes if it stays free.
